Street, C. N. H. ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors. Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, 4(4), 335-343. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jarmac.2015.06.002

People make for poor lie detectors. They have accuracy rates comparable to a coin toss, and come with a set of systematic biases that sway the judgment. This pessimistic view stands in contrast to research showing that people make informed decisions... Read More about ALIED: Humans as adaptive lie detectors..
